Seriously what is the obsession with live service chasing. Few ever get the success companies dream of and the rest burns tens and hundreds millions of dollars. Sony has burned billions between Bungie, FireWalk and Haven as well as the other projects

I never did finish this, the pacing was terrible and so many puzzles. Fell off right as atreus got to agribolda or however you spell it.

Listening to a podcast now. Guy says he likes it like an 8-8.5 but wouldnt recommend it as there are alot more of these that are way better. Also says he skips all the dialogue cause its bad. If you are giving it a 8.5 it shouldnt be a game where you say, there are tons of better similar new games out and you skips half the point of these games. Remaster the first 2 for PS

Sony: We need more IPs
Sony: lets sell off an IP
Not sure if its for the relationship with Kojima towards Physiant or what but Playstation continues down a weird path. Not that they are going anywhere for now but i dont want them crying when engagement and players in their ecosystem drop.

Ps: begin the cries for it to be on Gamepass even though is $20 right now lol

Funny cause i dont think critic scores mean anything. They are attacking anyone with any kind of negative look on the game like skillup and mrmattyplays who dont even bring up the politic points as causes for poor score. Decide what u want but in no way should these publications be implying it should be in GOTY discussion

I mean the number is gonna continue to escalate. So much focus on live service still resulting in total money sinks. Then Single player wise EU and NA studios are really pushing away alot of players in dropping quality and offputting naratives/characters etc. we have yet to see the Ubiosft cuts yet in full which are gonna be alot

@Weebleman yeah same no harm intended from me either lol. Not sure why it was removed, just seemed like baiting

@RBMango exactly. Temporary growth means nothing if they are only in for a month and dip. Like Starfield last year, it makes no beneficial change when subscribers spike for one month paying $17-$20 rather than them buying for $70

Pc growth for GP stagnated. Literally no growth on console without shifting units which they are not. Majority of people who actively use xbox and played Cod before already had gamepass or will upgrade from a lower level for no growth.

With Satya eying this release up and seeing Playstation trying to save this game from financial ruin, only more reason to go full send into 3rd party territory

Still interested but this has always been a game for a deep sale

Well the current developers at Bioware probably hate the game so no surprise there. Thats origins and 2 are the only ones of interest

My roll of toilet paper was empty this morning, i blame Sony for creating a greater monopoly on gaming

Well heres a reason why disc are needed.

Make Sony Japanese again. Herman doesnt know what hes doing

Lol the $20 upgrade for digital artbook and useless items

-50% on xbox year on year and just physical. I imagine most on console use gamepass so that could be much more damaging as well

Bold to Assume Bioware survives this release in todays industry of closure news. Whether good or not and sells or not could be a Square Enix didnt meet expectations nonetheless

Happy to buy, but im am still working through metaphor so will be on hold to play

Another day, and more money thrown into the pit that is live service. Wonder what happens when marathon doesnt hit

I’m waiting for Sony also to only charge like $50 for the pc port. Future releases may just wait for deeper sales.

Also is Nixes, Insomniac and Asobi the only studios working?

Well whatever it was an underwhelming sequel anyway. Astro bot was great but there future slate looking less and less appealing

I would go 8.5. Its missing the flair and style that Persona 5 had and personally think character designs no bad but again weaker than Persona 5 greatness.
Might play in spurts over time and maybe throw in a second game while playing it 15 hrs in

RIP to the game and studio

I dont think ive ever been compelled to play any of their games. Most are a major turnoff

Silksong has to reappear eventually right?

Give us origins and 2 on PS4/5 you cowards.

The Series X console is a fine console, S is underpowered. I just prefer Playstation.

Highly praise xbox for back compatibility which i frequently use. Sadly their news games are unappealing and or extremely underwhelming on release.

Ive had plenty of reward points saved up and really havent spent anything on software on xbox for years with my OG/360/one game in place. Sure there are many like me as well and the low spend of players on xbox definitely making it harder and harder for games to launch there

Dead island 2 is exact game i was just waiting for to hit the service. Wasnt gonna. Uy for its $35-$40 sale price.
I ll definitely be checking out dino crisis

@naruball doesn’t seem like its generating profits either if its only bring in under 3k concurrent for pc. Whats the burn rate of nixes like

Just dont see how selling 30,000 copies over time is worth the squeeze on these things. They will port this to PC but wont spend the resources to port remaster the PS3 trilogies to modern hardware

If i didnt have so many work day trips that essentially put me a day behind coming up, would defintely be putting in that pto about now

Just port Halo MCC. With who is leading the project today, the series will continue to be butchered.

Everything about the game looks good. Sadly for it, its JRPG month for me and wont be getting to it anytime soon. Itll be a 2025 game for me

@somnambulance
You’re still buying their games? Save the money

Ubisoft needs to be cut in half atleast they have way too many people.

Games have continued getting worse and worse and this year in particular just undesirable to play. They are a sinking ship

Can’t wait for xbox podcast like defining Duke tho to say xbox should buy them lol.

They said this before and then the Game Mill Avatar game came out lol

How much content did they promise? Once that is fulfilled bye bye Rocksteady

Small edit, taking Disney put the equation, its $49 million not $70 million due to Platform holder’s 30% standard.

Also just following industry’s advice. Don’t like it don’t buy it.

Seriously, Disney has butchered Star Wars Ip. Its relevance is also dead now

Not going in on particular details but some at Ubisoft were aggressively stating how accurate their history of Japan was. If it was so accurate why are the flipping the switch now 🤔

They should have also added the fact that alot of western game development is dying out because they make stuff that no one wants

Understand inflation but sony needs to aleast price to a break even point. They dont seem like they want to lose a cent on a sold machine and instead want to profit on hardware now. Switch still like $200-$300 and is their preferred handheld

They revoked peoples digital license for the free giveaway during covid

Same exact games as games of old, very bland and not revolutionary like they were when ubisoft was big. They discount games so quick that people train to not buy right away as well. Add in the character and frankly Star wars is unappealing to many. We saw how expensive licensing can be with spiderman and wolverine leaks. This is gonna hurt them badly

Already 4 more notable games for February as of now. This game is still screwed.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Feb 11
Avowed Feb 18
Monster Hunter Wilds Feb 28
Like a dragon Pirate Yakuza Feb 28

I remember the media was saying Outlaws sales were through the roof.

Also, outside quality, gamers are trained more than ever to not buy day 1 as they are always discounted extremely quickly.

Because people in Japan hate this game as many others do. Ubisoft basically took a dump on their culture

Finally a Mystwalker game on Playstation. Hopefully one day Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey can be liberated

New game plus here i come
